1st half...
both teams started off well.
but not after we took our free kick & ended up newcastle hitting us on the counter attack and suddenly a blundder by VDS. what a gifted goal that was for newcastle. a goalie like VDS with his standards should've saved the ball comfartably & easily.
we seriously need to close down newcastle fast especially when their attacking or counter attacking us. they are (newcastle) just so god damn dangerous when going foward.
then came rooney's goal. even though the goal came off a deflection but it was a really good finishing up goal by rooney. love the 1 2 o shea played with park. thanks to o shea as he was the key player that created the goal and the finishing touch by rooney.
we were so close to our second goal. i thought vidic was gonna score the goal but ended up seeing the ball went off target as vidic was on target throwing himself in the goal.
lol
as for us, we need to be more alert when newcastle come for us when attaking. we really need to close them down fast or else they'll cause us big problems.
VDS needs to be more like his old self when he was playing good and not conceeding any goals. we need to be a bit more defensive. our defenders
cant let them get pass them easily.
we're doing well rite now. just keep the ball, keep it passing around and hopefully we'll find the goal in second half.
no more small silly mistakes please.
2nd half...
again, newcastle looked quite dangerous for me in the 2nd half but we defended quite well.
talk about the blunder from our goalie VDS but on to the other side of the field was a defender trying to pass the ball back to their goalie but failed to do so.
so, what happens then after their the defender's mistake ? park came from behind, took the ball, saw newcastle's goalie coming out and decided to pass it to berbatov. from there on, came our second goal from berbatov which he finished it beatifullly.
we had so many chances in the 2nd half and shots were coming as we attacked newcastle.
there was anothr good chance for us to get our 2rd goal where rooney decided to go for a chip when the keeper was no where close to his goal. rooney failed to score though. i thought he should've just shoot the ball instead of going for the chip by chipping the ball over the keeper. or at least better if he just passed the ball or cross it in to berbatov to finish it.
either way, rooney should've scored the goal me thinks.
VDS did some 1 or 2 good saves in the 2nd half.
both teams were in control in the 2nd half but as minutes when by, i thought we had more control of the ball rather then newcastle.
yes, again, newcastle did managed to attacked us but we were focus in the 2nd half as we defended pretty well i should say.
substitutions was not much. just giggs coming on for berbatov.
Overall...
looking at the overall performance by both teams, everyone played well and fought hard for the ball to keep possesion.
rooney for me looked like he wanted the ball so badly (even when he fouls someone you can see his expression on hisface that he wants it so badly) and was always eager to score.
ronaldo played very well. he was always making good runs on the pitch and making good passes. not to forget the skills too.
newcastle look so dangerous in the 1st half and was giving us some problems as well but not as bad as the second half.
and the match had some pretty aggressive tackles. vidic was bleeding after someone elbowed him close to his right eye. hope his alright though.
even thou we went down with a goal in the 1st half, we pretty much played well and came back from 1-0 to 1-2 up.
but i hope that VDS wont do any of those small silly mistakes in the 1st half.
so, 3 points, 7 points gap and one game in hand now.
boy, im so proud of united with the wins lately in BPL.
must be the carling cup we won that saw us close to hunting down another trophy with our winning the match againts newcastle.
united must keep on continuing with their recent form if they were to win the BPL, CL & FA Cup.
next up is againts Fulham in the FA Cup quater final i think.
as for this match, ill give a rating of...
7.5/10
